The Organ and Tissue Donation Registry is a way to record your wishes to donate organs and/or tissues after you die. Follow the steps in the registry to give your consent about donating organs and/or tissues.

If you want to be a living donor (donate a kidney, part of your lung, or part of your liver while you are still alive), you need to contact the Living Donor Program in Calgary or Edmonton. For more information about consenting to donate, please see
Consent to Donate.

People that need transplants are matched to an available organ based on many factors. Information is used to help medical specialists decide which recipient is the best match for the organ that is available.

Donor coordinators (nurses with special training) coordinate all organ donations and work with the eye and tissue programs in the province. They provide follow-up support and communicate with donor families.
